Axle Hi/Low Switch - Toro Groundsmaster 455-D Service Manual

Axle Hi/Low Switch

The axle hi/low switch is normally open (N.O.) when the
transaxle is in neutral or hi range. This prevents the
cutting units or 4WD from engaging while the transaxle
is neutral or hi range. The switch closes when the axle
shift rod is moved to low range, which pushes the switch
1
button in.
1. Disconnect the switch wire connector and install a
continuity tester or ohm meter between the two leads of
the switch.
2. With the axle in neutral or hi range, the switch should
show no continuity. With the axle in low range the switch
should show continuity.

NOTE: For proper operation, the switch must be
screwed all the way in. Debris in the switch could cause

the switch to not open and close properly. Shift linkage
that is out of adjustment can also cause improper switch
operation.
